Air Pressure and Egg Pressure

WELCOME

IN THIS SITE WE WILL BE SHOWING YOU HOW AIR PRESSURE AFFECTS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND HOW AIR PRESSURE HELPS A EGG GO INTO A BOTTLE.

WHAT IS AIR PRESSURE?

Air Pressure is also known as atmospheric pressure and it is the pressure of air in any given point. There are various pressure force by how high you are standing. If you brought a bottle to a very high mountain and closed the bottle with the air inside it, then when you come down, the bottle will be crushed since it only can be balance at the mountain air and not sea level air. Your body can feel the pressure but you can't feel it because there is air in your body to balance the air outside you.

What effect does air pressure have on people?

This depends where the person is. If he person is the sea level then that person has a normal air pressure and has normal breathing. If the person is 1000 ft. below sea level then the person is crush like a piece of paper. This is the pressure at 1000 ft. that is high enough to crush the person but not the deep sea fish since it has the ability to withstand high pressure. If the person is at the peak of Mt. Everest, then the pressure is very low and has to breathe faster because there is almost no oxygen at that peak. This low pressure need a oxygen tank for people not fimliar to the envorenment to surive

WHAT HAPPENES WHEN YOU DO THE EXPERIMENT

In our experiment, we will put a match in a bottle and put a egg on top. The pressure in the bottle will decrease becuase the oxygen level will go down which will make the flame go out. The CO2 from the match will increase and the oxygen will decrease which will force the outside pressure to push the egg in so it can regulate the air pressure in the bottle and in the air. That is how air pressure works and regulates everything around it.
